As a follow-on, there was no taugeh to read and much to my relief, Missy who owns the taugehs took over the song.
And unfortunately, I spilled a little communion on Judy. Bless her! So glad though that the droplet fell on to the middle of a key instead of between keys.
So there I was panicking, trying to wipe the droplet off which made my finger wet instead and I had to keep on playing still which meant the other keys were getting abit wet as well....AND....in the midst of all that, I can hear the person who handed me the communion giggling at my predicament!!!
Me thinks me don't like to read taugehs for worship songs.
And it is probably due to influences reminding me to FEEL the songs.
How do you play based on FEEL if everything is already laid down in exactness right before your eyes?
How do you get your brain that absorbs all the taugehs to co-work with your heart that FEELs and get yourself together?
How? How? How?
Me understand why taugeh songbooks are created, it helps musicians to get everything right.
But what is the point of being right, if you are going to end up memorizing and concentrating on the taugehs and in the process forget about The One you are worshipping. Or if you have the taugehs all embedded into your brain and it turns auto pilot? That is so pointless.
Me will study taugehs if you ask me to, for the sake of understanding the dynamics they developed when they launched the song. For the sake of expanding my pattern-making bank. For the sake of getting the feel of the song. For His sake.
But Me might just burn the songbook if you ask me to play taugeh by taugeh.
